The Monocle Guide to Cosy Homes

Back when you were a kid, you didn’t care if your house had the latest technology, the latest interior design trends or overpriced paintings. Instead, you only noticed that your home was comfortable. That’s the basic idea behind The Monocle Guide to Cosy Homes.

It’s an extensive look at a variety of locales to find homes that exude warmth and hospitality. Instead of releasing a publication filled with exquisite houses or impressive lofts built in an old London church, the British publication opted to go the more realistic route. The guide takes readers on a journey to homes from around the world, spanning from Rio de Janiero to Toronto. It features homes of all shapes and sizes, with the only requirement being that the home has to be cozy. It’s available now for $60. [Purchase]
